Volume 3 The Strange Tales of the Women's Courtyard Chapter 7 The Rat Monster (6I)
Because of the darkness, the dormitory building is in chaos!
Bang, click, pop...... All kinds of strange noises are intertwined, adding to the atmosphere of fear.
The panicked freshmen groped their way out of bed, leaning out half of their bodies through the doors, some touching their heads, some rubbing their waists, and asking each other, "What's the matter?" "What's wrong?" "Who's calling?" "Screaming so horrible?"
A few bold seniors upstairs walked down with flashlights and asked loudly in the corridor on the ground floor, "Who was calling just now?" Which dormitory? ā
"Like...... It's the dormitory next to the stairs! The person in dormitory 113 who had just gone to the bathroom replied timidly.
There is only one dormitory next to the stairs and a washroom and toilet on the other side.
"Oops!" Min Yu, who was standing by the door, was the first to react, "It's our dormitory!" ā
We didn't have time to ask more, so we followed her straight to the 1o8 dormitory where the screams were based.
The door was open.
When I pushed it open, I felt a strong wind, and there was a slight "crackling" sound from the window glass.
By the light of a few flashlights, we scanned the entire 1o8 dormitory vigilantly. The layout is the same as ours, with four bunk beds, two complete bedding, and two piled with suitcases, cotton tires, mats, hangers and other miscellaneous items. It turned out to be a large dormitory with only four people.
There is no imaginary ghost shadow pupil. There are no strange creatures either.
It's just that. There seemed to be some kind of stale dark smell in the air.
If there is no land. It's light.
The beads on the wrist are slowly turned against the skin. Slightly shining.
"Light rain. What about the people in your dormitory? Zhang Qi looked at the bed.
"Hu Xia. Hu Xia. Where are you? Min Yu anxiously called her roommate's name.
"There's no one here, will they go to the bathroom?" A senior sister turned around and said.
"Who says no one?" A shrill voice floated from the bottom bunk in the corner, and a black shadow with a scattered head was erected on the ground, and the distorted shadow was reflected on the wall, "Am I not human?" ā
Dry, eerie voice. Under the flashlight, with a terrifying shape and a miserable face, it is better than the evil ghosts crawling out of hell!
Rao is senior sisters and a few of us were bold and tested, but they were also so frightened that they screamed several times, retreated again and again, and almost fell into a ball.
"What are you, what are you...... Styling? Mother-in-law, salt-free? Or Yaksha, a ghost? Zhang Qi wanted to stand up and scold her, but after glancing at her face. I couldn't muster the courage, so I had to hide behind me and do sarcastic work.
"You say I look like a yaksha or a ghost?" She rolled her eyes, her tone rather unkind.
"What about the rest of the dorms?" I was anxious to figure out what was going on, so I went straight to the point, "Who was calling just now?" ā
"People? Isn't it next to you? She asked slowly.
"I don't mean her. She wasn't here in the first place. I said lightly.
She sneered.
"What about Hu Xia? You...... Where did you get her? Min Yu said through gritted teeth.
"Strange! She's such a big living person, where can I get her? She lay down again.
Min Yu clenched her fists, looking like she wanted to rush up and beat her, but she was a little hesitant and seemed to be very jealous of her.
"Hey. Stop arguing! The person you're looking for is here! "A careful senior sister took advantage of our conversation, took a flashlight and shone around relentlessly, and finally a tightly wrapped quilt appeared in the corner behind the door. There was a trembling body huddled there.
"Hu Xia! What's wrong? How are you huddled here? Min Yu jumped forward and ripped off a corner of the quilt.
A fair-faced (or perhaps frightened) round-faced girl with her eyes closed was in the quilt, and she was shaking the quilt in horror.
"Was that what you were calling? What do you see? Ge Hong squatted down and asked softly.
She ...... She ......" the girl named Hu Xia, trembling and pointing to the corner of the lower bunk opposite, and only said the word "she" for a long time.
"How is she?" Min Yu asked anxiously.
āā¦ā¦ Mouse! ā¦ā¦ Monster! She screamed incoherently, "Big rat...... Big...... She had ...... on her head Monster! ā
"You saw a big mouse?" Gao Yanlan sighed, "No matter how big the rat is, you don't have to scream so badly!" The whole dorm building is scared of you! ā
"What kind of rat?" My heart moved, and I grabbed her hand and asked. "Where did it come from?"
"Big...... It's scary...... There was a blue light in the eyes! She gestured stiffly in horror, "From her...... Drill out of her head! ā
"What?" Several senior sisters with flashlights smiled bitterly, "How is this possible?" It can't be that the rats are scared out of the way! ā
"Are you mistaken? How does it come out of the head? "I'm also a little confused.
"It's not! ā¦ā¦ It's really from her head...... Drill out of the ground all at once! She raised her voice, "I see clearly!" She's a monster! ā¦ā¦ You trust me! ā
The Scarface girl suddenly sneered again.
There was a creaking sound on the windowpane, as if a rat's paw was scratching.
Goosebumps suddenly ran all over our bodies.
"Ahem! I think I'm going to have to let her go to another dorm tonight! A senior sister cleared her throat and shook her flashlight into the corner as if unintentionally, "Tomorrow, I will call the teacher from the General Affairs Office to check it out, why are rats so rampant recently?" ā
"Yes! The beginning of the school year is a man-rat war. Now even the dorm has big rats! The academy has become a rat's nest! Another senior sister also hurriedly echoed.
Ge Hong and I glanced at each other and helped Hu Xia together: "Go to our dormitory to sleep first, and talk about everything tomorrow!" ā
"Huh! Today our dormitory is very lively. Let's go! Let's go! Without waiting for Min Yu to react, Zhang Qi picked her up and left.
Everyone exited the room, and the senior sister who took the lead shouted into the corridor, "It's okay!" Let's go to sleep! Doors closed again, and silence soon returned to the hallway.
We had just taken two or three steps when we heard the door of the 1o8 bedroom slam shut, and a few shrill strange laughs oozed out: "Ho ho, a bunch of cowardly fools!" ā
We turned a deaf ear. Hurry up and go back to the dormitory.
Interrupted by this unexpected situation. It's past 11 o'clock. We're all so tired that we're going to get up at 6 a.m. to. In addition, seeing that Hu Xia was too frightened, and he didn't want to stimulate her anymore, Min Yudi's narration had to be postponed.
The next day was Sunday, and the sky was overcast, like it was going to rain.
We were in a hurry to get to the professional classes. Practicing voice, playing the piano, dancing, there is no leisure at all.
At lunchtime. Our dormitory accompanied Min Yu and Hu Xia to the general affairs office.
The two male teachers immediately brought rodent extermination tools and came to 1O8. Scarface wasn't there, and they carefully checked all the corners of the dormitory, barely turning the ground up, but still didn't see a single mouse hair.
They didn't stop, and then checked the nearby 1O7, 1O6, and 1O5, and the opposite 111, 112, and 113. As a result, there was still no trace of the rats. After tossing for a noon, exhausted, they had no choice but to withdraw their troops.
We also returned to dormitory 114 depressed.
"Why can't you find a mouse?" Zhang Qi was puzzled.
"You really ...... last night See a mouse? Gao Yanlan asked Hu Xia, who was next to Min Yu.
"Hmm. I swear. It's true! She said firmly, "That rat is terrible!" It's so big, like ...... Dog; Blue light in the eyes. More than a ghost fire! ā
She gestured as she spoke: "Last night, you weren't there, I was alone in front of ...... I was a little scared of her, so I went to sleep first. As soon as the lights went out, when I turned over, I caught a glimpse of the blue glow flashing past her. So I opened my eyes and looked closely, and by the light of the windowpane, I saw ...... See a giant rat emerge from her ground! ā
She paused, and her voice began to tremble uncontrollably: "First the head." And then there's the body and the tail, the mouse...... It's too big! As soon as my eyes rolled, a blue light glowed, and it was so cold that my legs and stomach cramped. The claws were sharper than nails, and they were nailed straight to her, to her head, as if they were piercing her head! I screamed in fright, and I crawled to the corner of the wall......"
"And then? Where did the rat go? I asked.
"IāI'm so scared that I've been wrapped in a quilt and don't know anything!" Hu Xia smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"Who the hell is she?" Gao Yanlan sighed, "She looks like a female ghost." The behavior is weird, and it has something to do with mice. ā
"She's not human, she's a murderous star!" Min Yu said in a deep voice.
"Min Yu, there is still some time before class, tell us what you know about her origin!" Ge Hong looked at the watch proposal.
"Good. If it's too late, I'll talk about it in the evening. Min Yu nodded.
"Speaking of which, she and I used to be villagers in the same village." As soon as the scene opened, Zhang Qi interrupted next to him and said, "Huh? How did I not know that there was such a number one person in our village? "We all glared at her.
"Ahem! You forget, I wasn't from the same village as you before. Min Yu smiled at us a little unnaturally. After my mom died. I moved with my father to the village where I live now. ā
"Look at my memory! Oh, I'm sorry! Zhang Qi hurriedly apologized.
"Remember later. Don't interrupt people! Gao Yanlan glanced at her.
"The village where I grew up is on the Yangtze River, the scenery is very beautiful, there are not many fields, but there are several orchards and farms, hundreds of families scattered among them, and the surnames are also very mixed. My family lives next to a farm, the owner of the farm is surnamed Mao, and the family is an only child, so I recruited a son-in-law who is inverted. ā
"What do you mean by a son-in-law who is plugged in?" Zhang Qi couldn't help but interject and ask.
"Plug in again!" Gao Yanlan said unhappily, "Why don't you even know this?" "If you don't understand, just ask! Isn't that right? Zhang Qi muttered.
"The inverted door means that after marriage, the man goes to the woman's house and settles down. Generally speaking, it means that the man "marries" into the woman's family, and the woman provides housing, food and clothing and other treatments, and after the door is inserted, the man has to take care of the woman's parents at home, and the woman has a surname after giving birth. Got it? Gao Yanlan explained simply and clearly.
